Support multiple NativeMethods.json files about cswin32 HOT 6 CLOSED

We don't support merging multiple NativeMethods.json files. But if you want the project to find a file that isn't in the project directory, you can always add <AdditionalFiles Include="..\..\NativeMethods.json"/> to your project file to point at the one you want CsWin32 to use.

In the root is OK but multiple json files would be useful as multiple txt are also supported. Now I have to split this up in multiple projects.

What would you use support for multiple JSON files for? Can you give an example of content that you would put into each file that should be included by a single project, and describe why you chose to place each setting into each file?

I want some types not to use com marshaling, but more importantly, I would like some of the generated types public.

I would like some of the generated types public.

We don't support generating some public and some non-public APIs. It's either all internal or all (approximately) public.
If you want some to be public, you'll probably have to choose for it to all be public for one particular project and emit just the public APIs into that project. Then your other projects can emit internal APIs for their own use.

allowMarshaling is another option that cannot be mixed. It's either on or off for the whole compilation.

Multiple JSON files will not get around the fundamental limitations that it seems you're hoping to use them to solve.

OK, then I guess this can be closed as not planned? :)
